Re: looking for Photographers

I used Ray O'Connor Photography in Northport and WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.


Here is just one example:
In fact today we went to pick out our albums - and I was expecting to see a re shoot of my invitation (they screwed up that picture on the day of) I gave them the name of the florist to get the same flowers for the reshoot.

That was 2 months ago. Today when I asked to see the picture, they said they would glue my invitation into the album because Ray would not pay for the flowers in the picture that he screwed up. I paid $3500 for pictures - and he wouldn't pay for the flowers to reshoot a picture that he screwed up.

I had a bad feeling about him, but my hall recommended him and he wouldn't let me out the contract. Fortunately I was smart - followed my gut and made a 'Plan B' for my wedding - Good thing I did, because if I was left with only pictures from Ray O'Connor studio in Northport, I would have been heart broken.

Ladies.... follow your instincts. My pictures were not worth what I paid, and I'm having so much trouble with the studio now. I plan on writing a review once everything is all in. I am hoping that I can say something nice about them once this is all over, but now - I am incredibly disappointed.


I wouldn't recommend Ray O'Connor photographer at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay away from Lindelle/Always Perfect Studios. They work out of David's Bridal but aren't associated with the store itself.

After seeing just about every photographer on LI, we ended up going with Tommy from Studio 790. We LOVE him and can't wait to see what he does for us!!! He had the best package and the best personality. He was so laid back and easy-going and a bit sarcastic which we liked. He was someone I wouldn't mind spending all day with and completely trust to capture the special moments of the wedding. We have a rule to never book on the spot and with him, we did! My fiance and I were writing notes back and forth saying 'Yes!!!'
